Diode Dynamics 5th Gen 4Runner Tail as Turn - Made in USA!

Just did the install and here's the side by side, before and after. I didn't use the factory location as a 2nd reverse light though. I think it looks a bit cleaner that way.

Did you go with the brightest XP80 for the turn signal spot? And did you just take out your stock reverse light bulbs so there's nothing in the slot?

I'm also thinking it's somewhat redundant and overdone to have two $90 LED bulbs a few inches above and below each other on each side of the 4R and I may do like you and skip the original reverse lights.

Emailed Battle Born Offroad today because their site is showing "no products found" for any 4R model when you look for Diode Dynamics...

***UPDATE - I called and they still carry all the Diode products, they just had a SKU issue and haven't updated the website. Definitely worth ordering from them.

I don't see these on the website period. Where are you seeing them? I looked under Diode Dynamics and these aren't listed
 
Another thing to consider... I see the plus of the extra backup light, but there's also a nice uniformity to the amber lights when unlocking and locking the doors. At night, you see the amber front turn signals blink, the amber back turn signals, and the amber lights in the side mirrors... would look all mismatched unless you all change those too?

You have to call. Or you can shoot them an email with the parts/bulbs you want and they'll put it together for you. They had some issue with pricing/sku. But they have good prices and free shipping.

I can't remember which brightness I chose.

Yes I just left the factory reverse bulb slot empty. I don't like the look of 2 reverse lights.

Yes, one thing that bugged me when I had mine was that the red tails would flash with the other ambers and it was mismatched.
 
The thing that bothers me about these is that the rear blinker and the front blinker are not in sync.
